Hundreds of sizes and styles are available with pressure or siphon feeds, internal or external mix spray setups, a wide range of spray patterns and a variety of materials. All air atomizing nozzles require a liquid line and an air source for the atomizing air. Some versions require a second air line for automatic cylinder operation, clean-out or shut-off.

Be sure to see Automatic Spray Nozzles if you need precise, automated control of intermittent spraying.

Recent additions to our air atomizing line include:

• VMAU Anti-Bearding Variable Spray Nozzles reduce the common problem in coating applications of build-up around the air cap and the resulting clogging of liquid and air orifices. A new design prevents drops from falling back onto the air cap and ensures longer clog-free operation
• FloMax® air atomizing nozzles produce exceptionally small, consistent drops for efficient evaporative cooling. New smaller capacity versions are now available
• Heat Jacket reduces clogs and keeps viscous liquids flowing as they pass through air atomizing nozzles
• 55400 Valve Package allows electrical components to be mounted separately from the liquid line to extend wear and reduce maintenance

To ensure optimal results in moisture control, it is important to have an extensive knowledge of atomization and drop size. And that’s where we come in. We can:

• Assist with nozzle specification based on your operating parameters such as temperature, absorption distance, chemical additives in the spraying solution and gas composition
• Provide drop size data
• Conduct special testing

When it is time for a product solution, we have several fine spray hydraulic nozzles and air atomizing nozzles that produce drops in the 10 to 50 um range. Widely used solutions include our AirJet® Fogger spray nozzles, 1/4 J air atomizing nozzles and LN and N fine spray nozzles that produce a hollow cone spray pattern.

• Changes in rotation speed and frequency
• Spray loss
• Nozzle clogging
• Pressure variation

Audible and visual alarms notify operators as soon as corrective action is needed. Reporting tools provide detailed documentation of cleaning operations for food, pharmaceutical, chemical and other processors who must stay in compliance with quality and regulatory standards.

SprayCheck TW is easy to install since its non-intrusive acoustic sensor mounts on the tank exterior. It is the only system that can be used with pressurized and non-pressurized tanks of all sizes and configurations.
